Project description:HTLV-1 is an onco-retrovirus that infects human T cells and causes poor prognosis leukaemia/lymphoma, ATL. The viral RNA binding protein, Rex, intervenes in host cell regulation of gene expression, splicing and translation mechanisms to promote viral particle replication, but the detailed mechanism of its function has not been elucidated. In the present study, we stably overexpressed HTLV-1 Rex in the human T-cell-derived cell line, CEM, and investigated effect of Rex on splicing patterns in CEM cells by exon microarray analysis.

Project description:T-cell clones were obtained by limiting dilution culture of PBMC of HTLV-1 carriers. Exon expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix exon array (Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Gene version of CEL files 01 to 12 are presented in GSE46518. The main objectives were to assess whether transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications associate with HTLV-1 infection in vivo. To this end, T-cell clones, infected or not by HTLV-1, were obtained by limiting dilution culture of PBMC derived from HTLV-1 carriers. Tumor cells derived from patients with an acute form ATLL. Exon expression profiles of cloned T-cells and ATLL cells was analyzed using Affymetrix exon array (Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Given that T-cell activation is known to modify alternative exon usage, microarray analysis was carried-out with unstimulated and PHA-stimulated CD4+ T cell clones.

Project description:UPF3A and UPF3B are paralogous genes in human cells that are involved in the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. NMD is a cellular quality control mechanism that monitors mRNAs during translation. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction activates NMD and leads to the degradation of the mRNA. To investigate the role of UPF3B and UPF3A in NMD, we have generated UPF3A overexpressing human HeLa Flp-In T-REx cells using the PiggyBac transposon system. We generated RNA-Sequencing data for wild type and UPF3A overexpressing (OE) cells.

Project description:The human transformer 2β gene (TRA2B) encodes a ultraconserved region (uc.138) in exon 2. TRA2B4 RNA is the transcript that contains the whole exon 2. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the influence of uc.138 expression in colon cancer cells, we established stable cell lines that overexpressed full-length TRA2B4 (ex 1–ex 10) or TRA2B exon 2. In this study, microarray-based global expression analysis were investigated using uc.138 overexpressing HCT116 cells.
